Social Media & Teen High Performance
Description
Is social media silently sabotaging your success?
In this episode, Steve Gardner — founder of The Ivy League Challenge and Harvard Summer School instructor — shares the mindset and strategies that set high-performing teens apart. Discover how top students manage (and often delete) their social media apps during critical periods like finals, and why this one decision can be a game-changer.
You’ll learn:
- Why most teens are reactive with social media — and what to do instead
- The exact challenge Steve gives his students during high-pressure seasons
- How to use social media strategically (not addictively)
- A 5-step plan to take back your attention and protect your goals
Whether you’re prepping for finals, writing college essays, or just ready to feel less scattered — this episode will give you the clarity and tools to focus on what really matters.
